Life, Crime and Capture of John Wilkes Booth

[Eva Elisabeth]

As for the question of JWB's possible disappointment of Johnson's whereabouts - why do you personally think did he check on the Vice? I go with those (Art Loux e.g.) who think he wanted to draw suspicion on him. So I think his absence suited him right well as he could leave this quite intimately sounding card. What would he have done if Johnson had been there? Johnson was not a theater enthusiast, was he? (I'll have to check Tom's book on this...) Also - if Johnson's absence did suit Booth well, did he possibly know thereof?
